Today, nearly all families face challenges with their children's educational development due to the impacts of COVID-19. Military families are not spared. Their challenges come with added complications, such as moves mandated by military service causing academic disruptions and stressful family separations due to deployments, mobilizations, and now, duty-required quarantines.
The importance of literacy as a building block for educational development has become even more apparent through these challenges. While we consider how our nation can mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on learning environments, the military community should make military family literacy a priority to strengthen these foundational skills in military children and protect their future educational development.
